So for me, it's Africa.
Namibia is a great place to start and your '06 will do the job very nicely if you load a premium bullet. Do yourself a big favor and book for a ten day hunt if possible and not the popular seven day hunt. You will be tired upon arrival with the long flights and the time change. Most fellows are traveling through Johannesburg now if they are traveling with rifles The route of Frankfurt and then to Windhoek means using Air Namibia for the last leg. Air Namibia is not bad - if they are flying that day. They had only one large airplane for the flights to Europe (they might be up to two by now) and sometimes canceled flights for maintenance, etc.
